Surprises (A short poetic story)

“Find a good woman and settle down” that’s the advice of everybody in town, but John, he’s still busy building his dream from the ground up, says he’s not ready, or looking yet for that kind of Love.

His parents, they worry that he’ll let it slip through his hands, because he’s too distracted with his original plans.

Nonetheless, they know it’s his life to live, they’re just there for him with all the familial Love and advice they can give.

He says “I appreciate your concern, I really do, and I respect your advice and your point of view, thank you for respecting mine too, even though I don’t think like you.”

He continues, “maybe I’ll be ready one day, if the right one comes, I promise not to turn her away…I know not everything can be planned right down to the letter, and sometimes the surprises are even better.”

Jenni & Billy Joe (Alternate Title: Rogue River)

Billy Joe went to Rogue River,

thought he was just passing through

that it wouldn’t be too long at all

before he was headed somewhere new

but he met a woman there,

her name was Jenni Sue

They grabbed each others hearts and souls,

that much they both knew

So Billy Joe made the decision to call Rogue River home

& to give up the life of a rolling stone

Every day, they were amazed at the happiness they’d found

& they were glad they had each other when the chips were down

As long as they were a team, come whatever storms life would bring,

they knew they could endure anything

All Good To Me

Decided to return a bit earlier than originally planned, did enjoy my short break though.

Judy was a South Memphis dream

She was a High School beauty queen

Raised by a daddy with a stern and heavy hand

Who never seemed to understand

the things on her heart

or the life she planned

or why she so fervently

Loved a boy in a band

She said, “Daddy, how can I make you see,

that Jay Loves & wants the best for me?”

Her daddy said: “precious girl, I just worry,

I want for your life only sweetness and beauty,

I can’t say I’ll ever understand what you see,

but if he truly Loves you, then all good to me”

Together Forever

He’d emblazon her name on the town water tower

Pick her an arrangement of fresh, sweet, flowers

Take her to dinner & dancing for hours,

To the town, it seems now,

they’ve been together forever

When they met he went all out w/the grand

romantic gestures, and to this day

he always treats her like he’s still trying to get her,

shows her his Love in every

way within his power
